On each map for like the first 4 or 5 minutes, every 20 seconds or so it's like my game has a stutter in it, and then boom it'sgood for another 20 seconds. It does this for about 4 or 5 minutes, then everything is fine.. Any Ideas?

How are your computer specs? Does it happen when there are a lot of players or anything in particular? Like myself although I have a good computer with many players, and arty going around I lag/stutter when arty is being dropped near me,

Btw, sometimes it will start this stutter thing, and lock up completely, and I have Ctrl+Alt+Del to close it out, then I restart..

hmm, I recommend you try and update your video card drivers, and also try and see if you can lower your resolution, and quality settings a bit. You can go into your System Options and change Video Quality set it to either Normal, Fast etc.. play with each and see if it helps.

It happens to me as well occasionally, when the cpu has been going on for a while with bunch of programs stuck in the memory. OR overheating, can't tell which one. I usually solve the problem by letting the computer cool down.

Do you have an adequate PSU for our rig? How much power does it provide?

It's not overheating, when you CPU is overheated your computer will just shut down for safety.

@AngelHc

Did you patch your game?

I had did problem before, after I patched the game it was over. I think the problem is that your processor gets overloaded by some bug or something else... When the game is crashing you can see 100% CPU useage for your ET session, that's not normal.

Ok, I was way to early in saying my problem is fixed... Now it starts doing the same thing, except now, when it locks up, I have to shut down, and when I try to restart, it gives me the busy thing, but never opens up? It just sets there then stops.. Ne ideas?

Is it only ET or even with power consuming games like Crysis? What do you mean specificly with "locks up"? FPS dropping suddenly to 0 till PC isnt responding anymore? Have you checked CPU and Graphics vents for dustbunnies?

You got the 2.6b patch? Have your tried playing other online games, or checking your conection? , maybe it's the Wolfenstein ET folder problem or your PC. First we have to find where the problem is, then fix it.
